India vs UK Military Power Comparison 2023 United Kingdom vs India Military Comparison 2023

Yes India's per capita income is less than England but you should also keep in mind that in India the cost of living is very low in comparison to Britain

[lakshmanmanoj]

per capita income is low for india..But one should also know that cost of living in india is 7-8 times cheaper than most european nations🙂🙂

[logicalyash]

We have huge military and defence budget because we have two smart and preety neighbours 😁

[animeclub]

India is still developing country and thriving for more day by day this not our whole power yet even after being developing country we overpowered our former colonizers in military for info top 4 india, china, Russia and USA are true heavy weights in world below india their is no nation that can overtake anytime of top 4...

Singh is King in the Word Sikh Army people 💪 India Army 💪 ❤️🙏 Love From Amsterdam 🇳🇱 HOLLAND 🇳🇱 Nederland ❤️🙏✊

[madmax]

India is a developing country. We will probably be developed in the next 30 years.

[leaderofmass]

per capita income is low ..
but cost of living is also low

so. it is not a fair comparison

by d way love from India🇮🇳 to every african

[crazykingyt]

India🇮🇳 is very hard 🥵and dangerous🥶 country 😮

[strategichuman]

Their reaction energy is more exciting than a grandma's dancing energy 🤣

[tooluhouse]

It's not because of India's population and size. India has big military because of we has some crazy neighbor's like China, Pakistan😂😂

Lets give you a lowdown of a possible UK-India military conflict:- India has a larger economy and a larger military budget than UK. And India is growing both these figures at much faster rate than UK to the point that by end of this decade alone, India will comfortably be more than twice the UK GDP and military budget figures. Just as a short example: today while UK has slightly better tanks, Indian tanks aren't far behind and India can manufacture as many tanks as exist in entire British Army within just one year. But lets dive deeper.

Naval warfare: Indian Navy is larger, but numbers alone don't tell the full story. India has a larger and more technologically capable maritime recon aircraft fleet and surface warship fleet today and in the foreseeable future (and if you want details, I can get down to the the tiniest of details on that so do ask if you find it hard to believe but a tiny example is the multifunction radar, MF-STAR, of the Indian destroyers that is slightly superior to the UK's SAMPSON and this advantage will continue in the next generation of destroyers both nations will field). However, what UK has an advantage in is Aircraft Carriers and Submarines. India has more submarines, but they are not technologically near UK right now. This is set to change to where India will, in next 10 years, significantly close the tech gap (but not completely). By early next decade, India will have double the submarines that UK does (6 Nuclear and 12 diesel-electric vs just 7 nuclear in UK) but I'd still say it'll be a 50:50 battle if only submarines are involved. Luckily for India, Anti-Submarine Warfare involves a lot more than just submarines and there, India completely blows British capabilities out of the water, especially if UK is trying to fight in Indian Ocean. So in submarines we are behind for now but will be tied by next decade and overtake UK in the decade after that. Finally aircraft carriers. We both have two each. But what matters is their size and air wing. British carriers can each carry 12 more jets than Indian ones. But this gap is temporary as India is building its third carrier, and by next decade will match the number of jets that British carriers can field. And this is where the superior quality of the British air wing: the F-35B comes in. Its a 5th generation fighter. And while India is planning to field 4.5th generation fighters like the American SuperHornet and the Indian TEDBF, I'll have to give this one to the Brits. This is the only serious advantage that the Royal Navy will continue to hold over the Indian Navy for the next two decades. But if Indian Navy decides to fight within 1000 km of Indian mainland, this advantage gets shortened to only this decade (explained in next section).

Air warfare: India has a much larger Air Force, and its technologically almost at parity with UK (barring the Royal Navy's F-35B), which means the slight tech edge of Royal Air Force doesn't manage to overcome the sheer numbers India can field. Training wise, Indian fighter pilots are just as well trained and fly just as many (if not more) hours per week as their British counterparts. But the Indian Integrated Air Defence System is on an entirely different level compared to UK. Problem is, UK can counter it to a certain extent using its F-35B advantage. And India doesn't have an answer to the F-35B in this decade. The Indian answer to it, the 5th generation HAL AMCA fighter jet, is still under development and will enter service early next decade. So for next 10 years, UK has an advantage India doesn't have an answer to. And even after that, the Indian answer won't be flying from Indian carriers for the foreseeable future.

Space warfare: UK has no innate capability here. Meanwhile, India has a massive space launch vehicle program and proven anti-satellite missiles, radars and killer-sats. India wins here hands down. UK does have some satellites but for now, they are defenceless.

Land warfare: India wins hands down. Indian Army is only slightly behind UK in terms of tech and that is bound to change within just this decade with Indian artillery, aviation and air-defences becoming insanely strong in terms of technology compared to the UK. Moreover, Indian Army can field 45 Combat Divisions, compared to just 2 Combat Divisions that UK can field. Indian Army has 20:1 advantage in tanks, artillery, armoured vehicles, electronic warfare equipment, etc. And in infantry, anti-tank guided missiles, tactical ballistic missiles and army air defences, its even larger advantage in numbers that India has. India is investing heavily in drone swarms technology and the technology to counter drone swarms (such as lasers and non-nuclear EMPs based on explosively pumped flux compression generators). Point is, Indian Army is the largest Army on Earth (larger than Chinese or American Ground Forces) and it is an all-volunteer force, unlike the conscripted force of Chinese. So quality of commitment and training is not the issue. If UK attempts to invade Indian mainland, it'll be a David vs Goliath battle for them. Assuming they can even land on Indian mainland in one piece.

In conclusion: Today* UK could possibly hope to maul our Navy and harass our coastline, but can't go beyond that. By early next decade, Royal Navy will struggle to do even that and getting close to Indian coastline will become suicidal. Only USA and China could ever hope to threaten India conventionally today and in the future. No other nation comes close to being a major threat for now. Do note, I completely ignore geopolitics in this analysis, because this question is outlandish enough to demand it, because its hypothetical.
*By today, I mean the day the Royal Navy's trump card: its F-35B fighter fleet actually gets an anti-ship missile. Because right now, its still not installed and until it is installed, other than the submarines, India will eat the Royal Navy for breakfast.

in PPP (purchasing power parity) term Indian GDP is 12 trillions $ (3rd largest economy) and GDP per capita is 9000 $

[ayushmitayadav]

This is the country that ruled us once and now we are ahead of them!!💁‍♀️
Btw thanks to our neighbors that because of them we have to make ourself stronger!

[nishanth]

Yeahh guys you need to learn more about india 👍👏👏

[mysteriousboy]

The economy of India for 2023 is more than $3.9 trillion

[leaderofmass]

India is developing country
but yes it is fastest major growing economy in world..
we hope to become a develop nation in upcoming 1or 2 decade

[sathyasathya]

India is defence country so army are even strong in less troops

[kalyan]

Trident-2 missile, is not made in Uk missile 😑, Trident2 is a amarican missile,
UK just purchase this missiles and using in there submarine 🙄,
But, Agni-5 is made in India missile 🔥
So india have all the technology of long range missiles 🇮🇳❤️

[bbaworld]

She though per capita is what everybody earns 😅😅😂

[Obelixlxxvi]

All these numbers and latest tech in every category will change dramatically in the next 3-5 years.
